Unknown SQL Exception 1346 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.

A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 – Either a required impersonation level was not provided, or the provided impersonation level is invalid.)

The reason: Sharepoint was installed and configured to use an account for the farm administrator, that is not the same as the user account running the installation.

To Fix: Connect to the machine with the account that was set as the sharepoint farm administrator. Run the sharepoint product configuration, withough making any changes to the configuration. When it finishes, connect to the central admin site and complete any other configurations, including giving admin rights to any other groups or accounts to the sharepoint farm.

I installed the word press wassup plugin so I can look at some statistics on my blog. Unfortunately, as soon as I installed the plugin I was greeted with the above error message. It turned out, in that file, there is a line of code that tries to access a property and then use it, but that property was not set on the particular page I was viewing. To solve it simply substitute this line

$plugin_page = $_GET['page'];

with

if (!isset($_GET['page']))
{
  //If not isset -> set with dumy value
  $plugin_page = "none";
}
else
{
  $plugin_page = $_GET['page'];
}

Enjoy and post your comments!

First part of the script identifies all direct references of the table you are querying against. The second part, identifies any foreign key references [...]]]> Today I needed to figure out how to find all the views and tables referencing a particular table. With help from coworkers and google I came up with the following script:

SELECT VIEW_CATALOG,VIEW_SCHEMA,VIEW_NAME,TABLE_CATALOG,TABLE_SCHEMA,TABLE_NAME, '' AS COLUMN_NAME
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEW_TABLE_USAGE AS VTU1
WHERE VTU1.TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE_NAME'
UNION
select VIEW_CATALOG,VIEW_SCHEMA,VIEW_NAME,TABLE_CATALOG,TABLE_SCHEMA,TABLE_NAME,COLUMN_NAME
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEW_COLUMN_USAGE AS VTU2
WHERE VTU2.COLUMN_NAME IN
(SELECT
CU.COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS C
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS FK ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = FK.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS PK ON C.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME = PK.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE CU ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = CU.CONSTRAINT_NAME
INNER JOIN (
SELECT i1.TABLE_NAME, i2.COLUMN_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS i1
INNER JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE i2 ON i1.CONSTRAINT_NAME = i2.CONSTRAINT_NAME
WHERE i1.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY'
) PT ON PT.TABLE_NAME = PK.TABLE_NAME
WHERE PK.TABLE_NAME='TABLE_NAME')

First part of the script identifies all direct references of the table you are querying against. The second part, identifies any foreign key references to the same table, and then queries for any views that are using those foreign keys.

Let me know if you find this useful.
